Silverfin

Silverfin is a scale-up SaaS company. 
Silverfin reinvents the way financial advisors work: our cloud-based technology allows +770 accountancy firms and financial advisors to streamline significant parts of their workload and spend more time on value-adding activities. We build a hell of a product and our customers love us. Even our customers’ customers love us. Silverfin solves a very real problem: it automates a large chunk of the repetitive tasks that people working in financial services spend their time on and improves communication with their customers.
